The chef and the namesake
Katya Vineyards is owned and run by Executive Chef Tony Deras and his wife Katya — the winery’s namesake. She grew up in the vineyard that carries her name, rooted among Ocala’s horse farms since 2010, and today keeps the family craft of hand-made Florida wine alive on the historic downtown square.
In the kitchen, Chef Tony — decorated four times at Best of the Best of Ocala in his first year — treats every plate as an expression of love.

The rarest steak on earth lives in Ocala
Katya Vineyards serves certified Japanese A5 Olive Wagyu — from a micro-farm herd of roughly 1,700 animals raised on toasted olives by the Seto Inland Sea — flown directly from Japan to our kitchen. Alongside it: a caviar service of Beluga, Osetra, and Hackleback sturgeon with traditional accompaniments.
Florida grapes, hand-crafted wines
Our Blanc du Bois and Lenoir vines are hybrids bred for this sub-tropical climate, rooted in limestone above the ancient aquifer that made Ocala famous. From them we craft the whites, reds, and blends that earned Katya Vineyards the 2021 Florida Winery of the Year.
